Answer:

GDP = $116 billion

Explanation:

GDP or Gross Domestic Product is the monetary value of all the goods and services that are produced in a country during a specific period of time which is usually one year. It is an important indicator that measures the growth of and size of an economy.

GDP is calculated as follows:

GDP = C + I + G + (X - M)

Where,

  • C refers to consumption
  • I refers to investment (net)
  • G refers to government spending
  • X refers to exports
  • M refers to imports

The value of net investments can be calculated by deducting the consumption of fixed capital from the gross investment.

Net Investment = 20 - 5 = 15 billion

GDP  = 90 + 15 + 15 + (8 - 12)

GDP = $116 billion
